Abstract

This is a longitudinal study which aims to examine the effects of the use frequency of SNS on adolescents' stress and the relationship between the former and the latter, based on big five personality factors. To this end, the valid data of 994 adolescents were collected by administering questionnaires to the cohort groups of those using Facebook twice for one year(T1-T2). An analysis of the data showed that the use frequency of Facebook(T1) had no direct effects on stress(T2), and that there was an interaction between users' personality and the use frequency. In particular, users' stress(T2) was varied depending on neuroticism among personality factors, as the use frequency of Facebook(T1) increased. The higher the use frequency of Facebook, the more the stress in the group with weak neuroticism, while the higher the use frequency of Facebook, the less the stress in other group with strong neuroticism, probably because each group has different motivation for meeting their needs for social support: the former's stress may increase, since they has relatively lower needs for social support and face more conflicts as they more frequently use Facebook, while the latter's stress may decrease, because they have relatively stronger needs for social support and are likely to acquire psychological support, as they more frequently use it.

본 연구는 성격 5요인을 중심으로 SNS 이용 빈도가 청소년의 스트레스에 미치는 영향과 그 연관성을 종단 연구를 통해 알아보았다. 이를 위해 페이스북을 사용하는 청소년 코호트 그룹을 대상으로 총 2회, 1년간 설문을 실시(T1-T2)하였으며, 994명의 유효한 데이터를 수집했다. 분석 결과, 페이스북 이용 빈도(T1)는 스트레스(T2)에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않고, 여기에는 이용자 성격과 이용빈도의 상호작용이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 페이스북 이용빈도(T1)가 높아질수록 성격 요소 중 신경성(Neuroticism)의 수준에 따라 이용자의 스트레스 수준(T2)은 결과가 달라진다. 신경성이 낮은 그룹은 페이스북을 자주 이용할수록 스트레스가 증가하지만, 반대로 신경성이 높은 그룹은 스트레스가 감소한다. 이는 두 그룹이 사회적 지지에 대한 상이한 욕구충족의 동기에 의한 것으로 해석되는데, 신경성이 낮은 그룹은 사회적 지지에 대한 욕구가 상대적으로 약하고 페이스북을 자주 이용할수록 더 많은 갈등에 처하므로 스트레스가 증가될 수 있다. 하지만 신경성이 높은 그룹은 사회적 지지를 얻기 위한 욕구가 강하고 페이스북을 자주 이용할수록 더 많은 심리적 지지를 얻을 가능성이 크므로 궁극적으로 스트레스가 감소되는 것으로 보인다.
